SAFETY

MANDATORY! Do not operate your new power chair for the first time without completely readingand understanding this owner’s manual.

Your power chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensivevariety of products to best fit the individual needs of the power chair user. Please be aware that the final selection andpurchasing decision regarding the type of power chair to be used is the responsibility of the power chair user, who iscapable of making such a decision, and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).

The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the power chairto the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorised Pride Dealer in the instructionprocess for the use of the product.

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the power chair user will need to practice operatingthe power chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or careprofessional specially trained in assisting a power chair user in various daily living activities.

As you begin using your power chair during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will needsome practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you manoeuvre through door-ways, on and off of lifts, up and down ramps and over moderate terrain.

Below are some precautions, tips and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to operatingthe power chair safely.

ModificationsPride has designed and engineered your power chair to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of accessoriesis available from your authorised Pride Dealer to further customise your power chair to better suit your needs and/orpreferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove or disable any feature, part or function ofyour power chair.

WARNING! Do not modify your power chair in any way not authorised by Pride. Do not useaccessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.

Pre-Ride Safety CheckGet to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check beforeeach use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your power chair:! Check for proper tyre inflation. Maintain but do not exceed 2.4 bar (35 psi) in each tyre if equipped with pneumatic tyres.! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.! Check all controller connections to the power base. Make sure they are secured properly.! Check the brakes. See VII. “Care and Maintenance.”! Check battery charge. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride Dealer for assistance.


I I . S A F E T Y

Weight LimitationsYour power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit.

MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your power chair. Exceeding the weightcapacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damageresulting from failure to observe weight limitations.

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your power chair. Carrying passengers on your powerchair may affect the centre of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.

Tyre InflationIf your power chair is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked regularly. Properinflation pressures will prolong the life of your tyres and help ensure the smooth operation of your power chair.

WARNING! It is important that 2.4 bar (35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained in pneumatic tyres atall times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure may result in loss of control,and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 2.4 bar (35 psi) tyre pressure in pneumatictyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel failure.

WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tyres from a regulated air source with an availablepressure gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resultingin a burst tyre.

Incline InformationMore and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some rampsmay have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your power chair.! Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.! Take wide swings with your power chair’s front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the power chair’s rear

wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.! When driving down a ramp, keep the power chair’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a

safely controlled descent.! Avoid sudden stops and starts.

When climbing an incline, try to keep your power chair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then acceleratecautiously. When driving down an incline, set your power chair to the slowest speed setting and drive in the forwarddirection only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to cometo a complete stop by releasing the joystick, then push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the power chair infreewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face ofthe incline. Drive your power chair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces thepossibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areascovered with snow, ice, cut grass or wet leaves).

WARNING! Never travel down an incline rearward. Doing so may cause the power chair to tip.Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

WARNING! If your power chair is equipped with a reclining seatback, do not attemptto negotiate inclines with the seat in a reclined position. Do not attempt to negotiateobstacles with the seat in a reclined position unless an attendant is present to helpstabilise the chair. Failure to heed could result in the power chair tipping over.


I I . S A F E T Y

WARNING! Even though your power chair is capable of climbing slopes greater than those illustratedin figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any otherspecifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair.

Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your power chair doesnot exceed 8.7% (5°). See figure 1.

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 8.7% (5°) may put your powerchair in an unstable position and cause it to tip.

Freewheel ModeYour power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers to allow for manual manoeuvrability by a trained attendant.For more information about how to place your power chair into and out of freewheel mode, see III. “Your Power Chair.”

WARNING! Do not use your power chair in freewheel mode without an attendant present.

WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your power chair in freewheel modewhile seated on it. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.

WARNING! Do not place your power chair in freewheel mode while on an incline ordecline. This could cause the chair to roll uncontrollably on its own.

Braking InformationYour power chair is equipped with two powerful brake systems:! Regenerative — uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the joystick returns to the centre/stop position.! Disc Park Brake — activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power

is removed from the system for any reason.

Cornering InformationWhile your power chair is equipped with front anti-tip wheels and rear castor wheels, excessively high cornering speedscan still create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to:cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from anarea of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area – especially at highspeed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you maytip over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your powerchair from tipping.

WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable centre of gravity.This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Always exercise common sense when cornering.

Preventing Unintended Movement

WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time,turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent joystick contact. Thiswill also eliminate the possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic (EM) sources.

Reaching and BendingNever reach, lean or bend while driving your power chair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean or bend while seatedon your power chair, it is important to maintain a stable centre of gravity and keep the power chair from tipping. Priderecommends that the power chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in thepresence of a qualified healthcare professional.

WARNING! Do not bend, lean or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor byreaching down between your knees or if you have to reach over the back of the seat. Movementssuch as these may change your centre of gravity and the weight distribution of the power chair,possibly causing your power chair to tip.

WARNING! Keep your hands away from the tyres when driving. Be aware that loosefitting clothing can become caught in drive tyres.


TransfersTransferring onto and off of your power chair requires a goodsense of balance. Always have an attendant or healthcare pro-fessional present while learning to properly transfer yourself.

To eliminate the possibility of injury, Pride recommends that youor a trained attendant perform the following tasks before attempt-ing a transfer:! Turn off the power to the controller.! Ensure your power chair is not in freewheel mode. See III.

“Your Power Chair.”! Turn the castor wheels toward the transfer destination to

improve power chair stability during transfer.! Make sure both armrests are flipped up or removed from

your power chair.! Flip up the foot platform or move the leg rests aside; this will

help to keep your feet from getting caught on the foot riggingduring the transfer.

! Reduce the distance between your power chair and theobject you are transferring onto.

WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the power chair seatto prevent the power chair from tipping forward during transfer.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the power chair armrests and do not use the armrestsfor weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the power chair to tip, resultingin a fall from the power chair and personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the foot riggings. Such use may cause the powerchair to tip.

User PositioningPride recommends that all users be seated in an upright position with their pelvis positioned as far rearward as possible in thepower chair seat. All users need to discuss pelvic positioning with their authorised Pride Dealer, therapist(s) or healthcare profes-sional to determine appropriate pelvic position when seated on the power chair based on the user’s individual medical needs.

Prescription Drugs/Physical LimitationsUsers must exercise care and common sense when operating a power chair. This includes awareness of safety issues whentaking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.

WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication orif you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your abilityto operate your power chair in a safe manner.

BATTERIES AND CHARGINGYour Jazzy 1107 uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Sincethey are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer anddeeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. Automotivebatteries are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge, and also are unsafe for use in power chairs.

MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and leadcompounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands afterhandling.

WARNING! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry and amp-hour(Ah) capacity. Refer to specifications table in this manual and in the manual suppliedwith the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.

WARNING! Contact your authorised Pride Dealer if you have any questions regardingthe batteries in your power chair.

Charging the BatteriesThe battery charger is essential in providing long life for your power chair batteries. It is designed to optimise your powerchair’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly and easily. The battery charger is only functional when thebattery charger lead is plugged into an electrical outlet.

PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properlyinstall an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access.

PROHIBITED! Never use an extension lead to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directlyinto a properly wired standard electrical outlet.

PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the power chair while the batteriesare charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the power chair isoccupied.

MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual suppliedwith the battery charger before charging the batteries.

WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the power chairand battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequateventilation when charging the batteries.

WARNING! You must recharge your power chair’s batteries with the supplied off-board charger.Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.

WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring and connectors for damage before each use. Contactyour authorised Pride Dealer if damage is found.

WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does notappear to be working correctly, contact your authorised Pride Dealer.

WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insertobjects through these slots.

WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do notexpose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverseor extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmentalconditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for moreinformation.



To charge the batteries using the off-board charger:1. Position your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet.2. Be certain the controller power is turned off.3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger/

programming socket on the controller.4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet.

NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there aretwo lights in it. The red light indicates that power tothe off-board charger is on. The green light indicatesthat the batteries are fully charged. If it is not a Prideoff-board charger, then follow the instructions suppliedby the manufacturer.

Battery Break-inTo break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance

level.2. Operate your power chair throughout the house and grounds. Move slowly at first, and do not travel too far until you

become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your power chair again. The batteries will now

perform at over 90% of their potential.4. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the charger work?The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24VDC (direct current). The power chair batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the battery voltage islow, the charger works harder to charge the battery. As the battery voltage approaches full charge, the charger does notwork as hard to complete the charging cycle. When the battery is fully charged, the amperage from the charger is nearly atzero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge the battery.

Can I use a different battery charger?You should use the charger supplied with the power chair. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We donot recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).

NOTE: Your power chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zerovoltage. If this happens, call your authorised Pride Dealer for assistance.

5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-boardcharger from the electrical outlet and then from the controller.

NOTE: You can remove both battery boxes from the powerbase and charge them using the off-board charger portlocated on the front battery box. The battery boxes mustbe connected in order to charge them. See figure 25.

Figure 25. Battery Boxes (Removed from Power Base)

OFF-BOARD CHARGER PORT



How often must I charge the batteries?Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all day on adaily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.

! Daily UseIf you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your power chair.Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that you charge thebatteries 8 to 14 hours after daily use.

! Infrequent UseIf you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per weekfor 12 to 14 hours.

NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Do not charge thebatteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle.

How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills or curves. More often youare presented with hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves and wind. All of these factors willaffect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range percharge:! Always charge the batteries fully prior to your trip.! Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible.! Limit baggage weight to essential items.! Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving.

What type of batteries should I use?We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cyclebatteries that are similar in performance. Refer to the specifications table for more battery information.

WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cellbatteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.

Why do my new batteries seem weak?Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium (nicads)or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down theircharge and then accept a relatively quick recharge. AGM and Gel-Cell batteries should be charged as often as possible.They do not have a “memory” like nickel-cadmium batteries.

We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specific demands.Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encoun-ter temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and cold slows thepower available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).


It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilise and adjust to its new ambient temperature. Moreimportantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain— then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemicalbalance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break inyour battery properly.

NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power chair’sbatteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged orstored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable power chair operation and limited battery life.

How should I store my power chair and its batteries?If you do not use your power chair regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at leastonce per week.

If you do not plan on using your power chair for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnectthe battery harnesses and store the power chair in a warm, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes, such as freezingand excessively hot conditions, and never attempt to charge a frozen battery. A cold or frozen battery should be warmedfor several days prior to recharging.

What about public transportation?AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and other mobility vehicles. These batteries areFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, allowing safe transportation on aircraft, buses and trains, as there is nodanger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier’sspecific requirements.

What about shipping?If you wish to use a freight company to ship your power chair to your final destination, repack your power chair in theoriginal shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.

CARE AND MAINTENANCEYour Jazzy 1107 is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorised vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. Youcan perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your authorised Pride Dealer. Preventive mainte-nance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that yourpower chair gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your power chair’s care or operation,contact your authorised Pride Dealer.

WARNING! Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.

Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid damp areas of any kind.

WARNING! Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could cause the power chair tomalfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical components to corrodeand the chair’s frame to rust. Power chairs should be examined periodically for signs of corrosioncaused by water exposure, bodily fluids exposure or incontinence. Damaged components shouldbe replaced or treated immediately.

Should your power chair come in contact with water:1. Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.2. Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to your authorised Pride Dealer. Power chairs that are fre-

quently exposed to sources of water, such as incontinence, should be inspected often for corrosion and electroniccomponents may need to be replaced frequently.

Temperature! Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your power

chair between the temperatures of -8°C (18° F) and 50°C (122° F).! In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze depends on a

number of factors, such as battery charge, usage and composition of the batteries (e.g., AGM or Gel-Cell).! Temperatures above 50°C (122° F) may cause your power chair to operate at a reduced speed. This reduced speed

is a safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components.

General Guidelines! Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.! Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold or moisture.! Keep the controller clean.! Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.! Make sure the drive tyres are inflated to 2.4 bar (35 psi) if equipped with pneumatic tyres.

WARNING! Make sure your tyres are inflated to 2.4 bar (35 psi). Do not underinflate or overinflateyour tyres. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Overinflatingtyres can cause them to explode.

WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tyres.

! Use a rubber conditioner on the tyre sidewalls to help preserve them.

WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tyres; doing so may make thetyres slippery and cause your power chair to skid.



! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.! The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain

its high-gloss appearance.! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery

well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame decal for the correct wiring layout.

WARNING! Even though the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirementsfor ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources ofdampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Checkelectrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.

Daily Checks! With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral

position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect theboot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorised Pride Dealer if there is a problem.

! Visually inspect the controller cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut or has any wires exposed. See your authorisedPride Dealer if there is a problem.

! Check for flat spots on solid tyres. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.! Inspect the armrests for loose hardware, stress points or damage. See your authorised Pride Dealer if there is a

problem.

Weekly Checks! Disconnect and inspect the controller battery door. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer if necessary.! Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws.! Check for proper tyre inflation. There should be 2.4 bar (35 psi) in each tyre if equipped with pneumatic tyres. If a tyre

does not hold air, see your authorised Pride Dealer for replacement of the tube.! Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance around

your power chair.

To check the brakes:1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electromagnetic brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You

must be able to hear each electromagnetic brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this testthree times, pushing the joystick rearward, then left and then right.

Monthly Checks! Check that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you operate the power chair. Adjust them as necessary.

See V. “Comfort Adjustments.”! Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.! Check for drive tyre wear. See your authorised Pride Dealer for repair.! Check the castor wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.! Check the castor forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings

replaced. See your authorised Pride Dealer for repair.! Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.



Yearly ChecksTake your power chair to your authorised Pride Dealer for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair ona regular basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.

StorageYour power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteriesfrom the power chair. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.

Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures or stored withouta full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is recommended thatyou charge the batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.

You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair to raise it off of the ground during periods ofprolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tyres and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of thetyres contacting the ground.

Disposal of Your Power ChairYour power chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your localwaste disposal agency or authorised Pride Dealer for information on proper disposal of power chair packaging, metalframe components, plastic components, electronics and batteries.

Cleaning and Disinfection! Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power chair. Avoid using

products that may scratch the surface of your power chair.! If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on your

product before application.

WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaningagent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or prematuredeterioration of upholstery and/or power chair finishes.

WARNING! Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your power chairhas a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.

WARNING! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to becomeslippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.

Wheel ReplacementIf you have pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, you can replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tyreinsert, then you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Replacement tyres, tubes and wheel assemblies are readily avail-able through your authorised Pride Dealer.

WARNING! The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by an authorisedPride Dealer or a qualified technician.

WARNING! Be sure that the controller’s power is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheelmode before performing this procedure.

WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut and washer, then remove thewheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.
